Goddess Myria was so fearful of the Brood’s power that she was sure they could easily destroy the world. Before acquiring the Infinity Gene, Ryu, without using his dragon forms, had to defeat Elder Jono in his dragon form empowered by Infinity.

- Vigor: Ryu heals heavy wounds on all targets
- Bonebreak/Terra Break: Ryu deals a deadly blow to a single target that can only be used in intervals.
- Accession: Ryu taps into his Brood power to transform into various dragons by using the Dragon Genes he absorbed on his journey. Dragon Genes are the spirits, and the essence of deceased dragons turned into purple pentagon-shaped or circular Chrysm ore. Ryu can combine three Dragon Genes into a mighty dragon. In addition, Dragon Genes give him certain elemental powers such as Flame Gene for flame, Frost Gene for frost, Thunder Gene for electric, Shadow Gene for shadow or poison, Radiance Gene for holy, or other Dragon Genes that give physical or magical enhancements.
- - Flame: Grants a Flame property. Used for becoming Trygon.
- - Frost: Grants a Frost property. Used for becoming Trygon.

- - Fusion: Combines power with allies. Used for becoming Hybrid.
- - Infinity: Unleashes the full power of the Brood to become Kaiser. If combined with Radiance and Trance, Ryu becomes Complete Kaiser.
- Whelp/Wildfire: Whelp is Ryu's basic natural small Dragon form. He can turn into other elemental versions using a single elemental Dragon Gene. Whelp gives him slightly more endurance and twice the physical power. He can produce his Whelp Breath by breathing fire or a more potent version with Flame Breath. Depending on the Dragon Gene, Whelp can produce Frost Breath, Thunder Breath, Shadow Breath, or Divine Breath. It can coat its claws or bite attacks with those elements and become immune to them. Whelp can also cause blindness and poison. Ryu can form an enhanced form of Whelp named Wildfire by combining the Miracle Gene, Thorn Gene and Reverse Gene. Though this form reduces Ryu's endurance and only has the standard Whelp Breath, it grants him immunity to all elemental damage, status effects, and increased power. Wildfire is very vulnerable to holy elements.
- Dragon/Trygon: Dragon is a Ryu's large, more potent adult Dragon form. The most frequent result is combining two or more Dragon Genes. Dragons' abilities and physical stats are generally higher than those of Whelps. For example, they can breathe a more substantial fire with Dragon Breath that resembles a laser beam, and the same with Whelp, a more potent version with Flame Breath and other elemental breath attacks mentioned on Whelp. It can make the exact attacks as Whelp but stronger. Dragon can also lower someone's guard with Snap and counter any attack with Counter. By combining Flame Gene, Frost Gene and Thunder Gene, Ryu turns into a particular variant of the Dragon form named Trygon, a gold dragon that improves overall physical stats, the ability to breathe all three elements and become immune to those three elements.
- Behemoth/Mammoth: Behemoth is a colossal dragon transformation formed using the Miracle Gene, which trades off speed for tremendous physical strength and endurance. It can ram into foes with Charge. In addition, Behemoth has powerful earth magic and can call forth meteors. Ryu can combine the elemental Dragon Genes for elemental attacks and immunities. A unique form of Behemoth called Mammoth is created by mixing Miracle Gene with ??? Gene for a more drastic increase in physical stats and has the power to grow even more significantly.
- Warrior/Myrmidon: Warrior is a dragon transformation that looks relatively human with dragon wings, claws, lower body, and tail. Ryu uses a range of Dragon Genes sub-types, including the Force Gene. The form has very high strength on par with Behemoth but is not as durable and doubles Ryu's speed. It can consist of other elemental Dragon Genes for elemental strikes. This form focuses on physical attacks and can boost its power with Focus, Gambit, and Aura. Aura makes a large afterimage that punches foes with holy damage. By mixing the Force Gene with the Trance Gene, Ryu can transform into a stronger variant, Myrmidon. Myrmidon can access all the elemental strikes without relying on the elemental Dragon Genes and generate an omnidirectional blast with Aura Burst.
- Hybrid: Hybrid is a unique dragon transformation where Ryu fuses with the power of one of his allies by using the Fusion Gene, and his allies stay intact. Depending on which ally, it gives him enormous stats in either endurance, magic or speed. Also, he inherits his ally's abilities and more. Even become a Super Hybrid with certain Dragon Gene combinations (see Accession). When combined with Momo, Hybrid can summon planetoid comets and nuke missiles. With Nina, all her elemental magic. With Rei, wind magic and teleportation. With Peco, inflicting sleep, poison and generating earthquakes.
- Pygmy: Pygmy is a unique and tiny dragon transformation with a greater "cuteness factor" than the Whelp forms. Ryu transforms into Pygmy by combining the Mutant Gene with ??? Gene. Pygmy's strength and endurance drastically decrease, but in return is extremely fast and agile with a powerful breath attack that spews magma with Magma Breath.
- Tiamat: Tiamat is Ryu's unique mighty enormous Dark Dragon transformation by combining Shadow Gene with Trance Gene. Tiamat has an overall increase in physical stats and mighty shadow and venom breath attacks. It can summon a tsunami of molten lava and is immune to all status effects and earth elements but vulnerable to holy elements.
- Kaiser: Kaiser is Ryu's ultimate dragon form by mixing Infinity Gene with Radiance Gene and Trance Gene to gain complete control. Without Radiance Gene and Trance Gene, Ryu would no longer gain complete control and become berserk. The Infinity Gene is said to grant the user the full power of the Brood. At first, Ryu's form does not change into a dragon. Instead, his hair becomes golden, and his eyes become red. Ryu's abilities and physical stats are at his best, even in this state. He can also transform into a giant dragon. Kaiser is immune to all status effects and is highly resistant to all elemental attacks. Kaiser Breath's breath attack is equivalent to a nuclear blast. It can even confuse foes with a simple roar.

Alternatively, the entire necklace can be thrown and followed up with a supernatural fire effect, causing the whole string of beads to explode in a mighty eruption of fire, on top of whatever effect triggered its explosion, for massive damage), Boccob's Blessed Books (multiple copies of a Boccob's Blessed Book, a magically enchanted book that contains far more pages than a book as small as it should. Additionally, spells and supernatural writings can be inscribed onto it without the need to expend material components to ensure their future effectiveness), and Elminster's Eversmoking Pipe (capable of levitating on its own, Elminster's pipe is perhaps his most iconic item. Capable of lighting or extinguishing itself with a command word, its smoke repels vermin and insects of all sorts, even magical or supernatural ones. It can also generate massive flame blasts or manipulate existing flames [magical or non-magical] as per a Pyrotechnics spell. Elminster can summon the pipe to him at will should it leave his possession. Finally, he can use it nine times a day to instantly teleport several hundred meters as per Dimension Door, and can use it to survive freely without air for up to two hours at a time)

Furthermore, he can also perceive creatures in The Ethereal Plane while in a Blink state.
- Dispel Magic: Elminster can use this spell to counter spells or similar effects as they are being cast, immediately dispel continuous effects generated in an area, or dissipate magically generated constructs. However, it may fail to function against potent effects.

- Slow: Warps the fabric of time, slowing all creatures in the area by 50% for a few minutes.
- Suggestion: Elminster uses this spell to influence the actions of a chosen recipient by uttering a few words, phrases or a sentence or two, suggesting a course of action that Elminster desires.
- Fireball: An iconic attack spell. He gathers together a sphere of fire between his hand before firing it, erupting into an explosion of flame for good damage against everything in the area.
- Charm Monster: As the Charm Person spell, except that it is harder to resist and also affects any living creature, Elminster casts it on rather than just humanoids.
- Confusion: Causes confusion in up to four creatures for a few minutes, causing their actions to become random and madness-plagued.
- Evard's Black Tentacles: Summons a spread of black, rubbery tentacles from a single point which grasps at anything that comes near. Grapples all targets within its range, continually damaging and restraining them until the spell expires a few minutes later.
- Solid Fog: Conjures up a giant cloud of fog so thick that it significantly impedes movement, slowing the movement speed of everything within the area to one-fourth of its usual amount.
- Translocation Trick: Instantly switches places with the desired target while simultaneously disguising the appearances of both to appear as one another, appearing to onlookers as if nothing occurred.
- Massmorph: Elminster can cast this on a maximum of 290 willing creatures to have their appearances magically altered, so long as they remain within a given area.
- Minor Globe of Invulnerability: Creates an immobile, faintly shimmering magical sphere around himself, negating lesser spells and similar effects that try to penetrate or target Elminster within.

- Rary's Mnenomic Enhancer: Elminster can cast this spell to either memorize or retain the memory of three additional spell levels, examples being three 1st-level spells or a 1st-level spell, a 2nd-level spell and a 3rd-level spell.
- Stoneskin: Can cast this spell on himself or other targets of choice to be virtually immune to any physical attack to the point where even a vorpal sword can't cut him, negating up to 33 physical attacks.
- Whisper Blade: Elminster creates a translucent, shadow-like weightless area of magical force that extends from his fingertips as a silent blade-shaped construct, functioning effectively akin to a magical, ethereal longsword that he can wield freely. Unbreakable, Elminster can use the Whisper Blade to slice at chains, armor and other hard targets, and ethereal/intangible targets. The Whisper Blade created by this spell can't be torn from Elminster's grasp, but he can make it vanish instantly if he desires it by his own will.
- Avoidance: Sets up a natural repulsion between affected objects and all other living creatures around him except himself, meaning any living creature attempting to touch the affected object gets repulsed as they cannot bring closer to it than one foot.
- Bigby's Interposing Hand: Conjures a gargantuan energy hand that appears between himself and his chosen target. It provides Elminster cover from his opponent and is roughly as difficult to destroy as Elminster himself.

- Hold Monster: Holds up to four targeted creatures in place for nearly three minutes.
- Ironguard: Confers himself or another creature of choice immunity to non-enchanted weapons made of metal. Enchanted weaponry still only inflicts damage based solely on the strength of the energy accompanying it, with the physical force of the strike nullified.

- Teleport: Elminster can use this spell to teleport himself and up to 4,600 pounds with him over vast distances.

- Ghostgrail: Elminster can use this spell on himself or a different creature to become immune to any special attacks commonly inflicted by the undead, including level drain, strength draining, fear, mummy rot, supernatural aging, walking through a banshee wall and so on for several minutes.
- Inscribe: Elminster can duplicate any writings, runes, or glyphs of a spell into either a spell book or prepared writing surface such as a slate or a scroll, with the original being unaltered as the copy contains all the properties of the original, which even includes types of inks, smudges, errors and so on. While Elminster can freely copy non-magical writings, copying magical writing can possibly damage or stun him.
- Legend Lore: Elminster can use this spell to determine legendary information about a specific place, person or item.
- Mass Suggestion: As the Suggestion spell, expect it is harder to resist, and Elminster Aumar can simultaneously influence up to 29 creatures.
- Otiluke's Freezing Sphere: Fires a sphere forward similar to a Fireball, save that it explodes into waves of supernatural cold that emanate outwards across a larger area. Freezes ice caught in its area of effect.
- Tenser's Transformation: Elminster Aumar undergoes a startling transformation as he becomes a formidable fighting machine, sacrificing some defense and evasion for dramatically amplified damage output in melee, durability, toughness, and pure combat skill for a few minutes.
- Forcecage: Evokes a prison of force that entraps anything in a 20-foot cube where it is conjured, including ethereal/astral entities, ghosts, etc. However, creatures with exceedingly high magic resistance or similar may prove resistant or immune.
- Limited Wish: A very potent but difficult spell for Elminster to cast, allowing him to warp reality to his whims for a large variety of effects, such as reversing natural disasters, sealing away monsters, permanently (albeit slightly) improving one of a character's stats, etc.
- Power Word Stun: By speaking a word, Elminster can use this spell to stun a creature in place. The lower their remaining HP, or stamina/life force until unconsciousness, the longer the stun effect lasts.
- Prismatic Spray: Elminster blasts enemies with a cone-shaped burst comprised of seven shimmerings, intertwined, multi-colored beams of light, each with a different power. Creatures caught in the prismatic spray at least 8th level and below or have 8 hit dice or below are automatically blinded for 2d4 rounds. In addition, the prismatic spray has the following additional effects, as detailed below, with all targets caught in the area being afflicted by one or more at random:
- Red: Inflicts fire damage.
- Orange: Inflicts acid damage.
- Yellow: Inflicts electricity damage.
- Green: Inflicts a highly potent poison that causes instantaneous death.
- Blue: Instantly petrifies the target struck.
- Indigo: Inflicts permanent and severe insanity, as per the Confusion spell.
- Violet: Banishes the afflicted creature to another random plane of existence.
- Statue: Elminster Aumar can cast this spell to turn himself or a willing target his target of choice into solid stone for up to 29 hours.
- The Simbul's Synostodweomer: Consumes an arcane spell he has memorized and metabolizes it into healing magic, repairing his wounds.
- Bigby's Clenched Fist: Conjures a gargantuan energy hand that balls into a fist and flies about at Elminster's whim. It can strike opponents with powerful hits that leave them stunned briefly, parry even the most massive of attacks, provide Elminster cover from his opponent and is roughly as difficult to destroy as Elminster himself.
- Maze: Causes his target to vanish into an extra-dimensional space, a pocket dimension composed entirely of a single, nigh-infinite maze. Exactly how long the target leaves the maze depends on his/her/its Intelligence; the greater their intelligence, the more swiftly they can find the way out and reenter the Material Plane where they exited it. If, after 10 minutes, the target is still trapped in the pocket reality, they are automatically shunted out. Unfortunately, most teleportation effects, such as Teleport and Dimension Door, do not allow teleportation out of the maze. Still, interplanar travel, such as Plane Shift, can allow one to reenter the Material Plane early.
- Mind Blank: Protects his target of choice from all effects that would otherwise detect, influence, or read their emotions and thoughts for one full day.
- Nybor's Wrathful Castigation: Inflicts such immense pain on a target that they die instantly on the spot. Even those that resist it are crippled by the pain, receiving a penalty to resisting other effects for a few minutes.
- Horrid Wilting: Drains all water and life from entities near him, inflicting extreme damage and reducing such things to ash and dust. Especially effective against beings with an affinity for the Water element.
- Prismatic Wall: Creates a shimmering, multi-colored plane of light that protects him from all forms of attack (including all non-magical and magical weapons, poisons, gases, petrification, energy effects, divination attempts, psychic/mental attacks, and spells and similar effects) that lasts for up to several hours. The prismatic wall, though immobile, outright blinds lesser does that try to pass through, in addition to randomly affecting the trespasser with one or more effects as per a Prismatic Spray spell:
- Red: Inflicts fire damage.
- Orange: Inflicts acid damage.
- Yellow: Inflicts electricity damage.
- Green: Inflicts a highly potent poison that causes instantaneous death.
- Blue: Instantly petrifies the target.
- Indigo: Inflicts permanent and severe insanity, as per the Confusion spell.
- Violet: Banishes the afflicted creature to another random plane of existence.
- Serten's Spell Immunity: Elminster becomes nearly immune to spells and similar supernatural effects, gaining a large bonus to his saving throws for a few minutes; he may alternatively use this on up to seven different targets by dividing the duration between them. Note that spells or supernatural effects that are divine or tap into divine energy can partially bypass the enhanced resistance provided by this spell.
- Symbol: Creates a magical rune, which affects any creature who touches the rune, passes over a portal on which it is inscribed or reads the rune itself. Seven different varieties exist, as detailed below:
- Death: If a creature who is sufficiently low in remaining vitality and life force (has 80 hit points or less) is affected, they die instantly.
- Discordant: Creatures affected instantly fall into bickering and arguing, with a 50% chance of creatures of differing alignments outright attacking one another for roughly 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Fear: Creatures affected are overcome with fear, devoting all of their attention from fleeing the symbol even if it means abandoning pre-constructed strategies, abandoning possessions, or expending limited-use abilities.
- Hopelessness: Affected creatures immediately fall into hopelessness and despair.
- Insanity: If a creature who is sufficiently low in remaining vitality and life force (has 120 hit points or less) is affected, they are immediately rendered insane.
- Pain: Affected creatures are wracked with pain within their bodies, suffering hefty penalties to attack rolls (accuracy) and Dexterity for about a minute.
- Sleep: Affected creatures fall asleep for about a minute.
- Stunning: If a creature who is sufficiently low in remaining vitality and life force (has 120 hit points or less) is affected, they are stunned for about half a minute.
- The Simbul's Skeletal Deliquescence: Turns the bones of a single touched creature into jelly for 29 days. While a transformed target can still speak and breathe, they can do nothing else until the duration expires.
- Elminster's Evasion: Warps Elminster Aumar to a dimensional location he calls “Safehold” and immediately casts Heal and Regenerate on him, allowing him to very swiftly recover to maximum fighting capacity and either re-plan, rejoin a battle, or both. Set up as a contingency that instantly casts itself under one of six conditions, those being 1. His Death; 2. The loss of his mental faculties; 3. The loss of his physical faculties; 4. The destruction of both upper limbs; 5. The destruction of his total body volume; and 6. His utterance of the word “Thaele”.
- Elminster's Effulgent Epuration: Conjures 29 floating, silvery spheres roughly the size of a grapefruit that hover around him. Each can either absorb a single spell or similar supernatural effect, deleting such energies from the planes or nullifying the offensive energies of a supernaturally-enhanced item or relic for a few minutes before fading from being entirely.
- Foresight: This spell grants Elminster a sixth sense for a few minutes, effectively functioning as true precognition. It allows him a general idea of how he can protect himself beforehand if need be, as well as future actions anything around him may take.
- Imprisonment: Imprisons one creature touched in a small energy sphere that blocks out all attempts at breaking it, teleportation/interplanar travel into or out of it, etc., and additionally places the imprisoned target into temporal stasis. Requires an adequately cast Freedom spell or Wish/Miracle/similar magic to undo.
- Meteor Swarm: Upon casting this spell, Elminster outstretches his hand and springs eight one-foot diameter spheres or four two-foot diameter meteorite spheres, which he can aim at a specific target of choice or a targeted area. Each deals physical damage to the target it strikes directly, then explodes into a massive blast that inflicts heavy collateral damage. Meteors that reach the edge of the spell's range explode automatically.
- Shape Change: Elminster can use this spell to assume the form of any creature that isn't a demigod or a legitimate deity. Elminster also gains all of the creature's unique special defenses and abilities, save those involving intelligence, innate magical abilities, and direct magic resistance.
- Worldwalk: Elminster can use this spell to open a portal to another dimension or plane of existence. Appearing as a disk of up to 20 feet in diameter, which is transparent on one side and displays the target destination on the other, Elminster can dispel the Worldwalk as he pleases.
- Wish: A spell with no known limits. Wish allows the user to make a single wish, which then comes true. It provides for high-scale reality warping, though it is exceedingly tricky. In theory, it could be used to create a dramatic effect; indeed, it has no known cap on its capabilities; it could cause unwanted harm to the caster or their plane of existence. Elminster is unlikely to resort to this spell.
- Spell-Like Abilities: Elminster has several spell abilities available to him, each usable once per day without the need for repreparation:
- Dispel Magic: See Spells.
- Lesser Ironguard: Causes non-magical metals to pass entirely through the affected subject for a few minutes as if they were not there. It can also be used to phase through metal barriers.
- See Invisibility: Can see invisible creatures and objects.
- Shape Change: See Spells.
- Simbul's Synostodweomer: See Spells.
- Spider Climb: See Spells.
- Teleport without Error: Allows instantaneous teleportation to anywhere on the planet without chance of failure. If the location he attempts to teleport to doesn't exist, the spell fails rather than backfiring as a standard Teleport spell.
- Thunderlance: A gray, shimmering force in the shape of a staff or elaborate spear springs into Elminster's hand. In addition to requiring only one hand to wield, the Thunderlance inflicts massive damage with each hit and amplifies his brute strength. It can even rip through magic and force constructs and more. Lasts for a few minutes.
- True Seeing: The target sees all things as they truly are out to 120 feet for roughly half an hour. Levels of light no longer affect them, illusions and invisibility automatically fail, secret doors become obvious, blurred objects or beings become sharpened, displaced objects/creatures are seen in their true location, etc. The target can even perceive beings imposed into the Ethereal/Shadow planes and other planes coexistent with his current plane of residence.
- Special Abilities: Has a variety of unique powers, including:
- Arcane Fire: Elminster may convert any spell into a bolt of energy, dealing increasingly high damage based on the spell's level.
- Arcane Reach: Elminster's touch spells have a 30-foot range.
- Mastery of Counterspelling: When Elminster successfully counter-spells any direct effect spell or supernatural ability, it is reflected back in the caster's direction.
- Mastery of Elements: Elminster can prepare any arcane spell he knows with the acid, cold, fire, electricity, or sonic designator to be cast as a different element. For example, a Fireball spell could be prepared to deal sonic damage instead of fire damage.
- Chosen Immunities: Elminster is entirely unaffected by attacks or abilities that duplicate or have similar effects to any of the following: Detect Thoughts, Disintegrate, Evard's Black Tentacles, Feeblemind, Finger of Death, Fireball, Magic Missile, Sunburst, and Time Stop.
- Detect Magic: He can permanently detect magical auras within his line of sight.
- Permanent Effects: Permanently has all of the following in effect: Arcane Sight, Blindsight, Chain Contingency (Automatically casts Ghostform and Stoneskin if physically attacked), Contingency (Automatically casts Antimagic Field if someone else tries to cast Mordenkainen's Disjunction or a similar effect), Eternal Freedom (Permanently immune to any effects that would attempt to restrain by body, mind, or spirit, including time/reality-warping effects), Gemju mp (Teleports him to one of two gems, one to the Simbul & one to his keep), Mind Blank, Nondetection, Spell Turning (Reflects all spells and similar effects towards their caster automatically until the effect is worn through), Stasis Clone (Returns to life from a pre-constructed clone elsewhere should all other fail safes, not function, and he otherwise permanently dies)
- Psionics: Elminster possesses minor psychic abilities, allowing him to mend his wounds and influence the thoughts of others.
- Silver Fire: As a Chosen of Mystra, Elminster can wield the Silver Fire, pure Weave energy harnessed and wielded by a mortal vessel. Once per hour, it can be harnessed to neutralize magic-dead zones permanently, focus it inwards on removing all poisons, psionics, and other maladies from his person, or release it outwards as a beam of mighty whitish flame. Unfortunately, no barrier, spell, or material has been found that can withstand it: indeed, it seems to burn away at everything it touches, pierce all defenses, shatter magical weaves and defenses set in place, and generally ignore durability. Moreover, due to its nature as pure Weave energy, clashing directly with pure Shadow Magic (or potentially, other similar effects) can cause highly unusual and sometimes catastrophic side effects. These may include the unravelling of a section of the multiverse, the tearing of the fabric of the world, and the opening of gigantic dimensional rifts between planes.
- Spellfire: Elminster can wield the Spellfire, the raw energy of the Weave and a very rare magical power. Similar to Silver fire, except this can be acquired by anyone and has a different effect. It allows Elminster to absorb spells cast at him and convert them to raw magical energy that can be used in a variety of ways. Such to heal, project destructive bursts of flames from his eyes, fly and, in rare cases, use the Crown of Fire ability.

Weaknesses: None notable, S-Snake can be easily flustered if she is praised, it is currently unknown if the Seraphim have the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses
Destructive Capacity: Continent level+ via powerscaling (the Seraphim are meant to be replacements for the Shichibukai, which includes strong high tiers like Doflamingo, Jinbe, Hancock, and Law, as well as top tiers like Mihawk, S-Hawk rushed Blackbeard and immediately make him use his Armament Haki to defend himself and his Yami Yami no Mi powers), S-Snake can ignore conventional durability with the artificial Mero Mero no Mi
Range: At least several dozen meters with Hakkai and lasers, at least several dozen to several hundred meters with their various copied abilities
Speed: Relativistic with light-speed reactions (S-Hawk was able to surprise Blackbeard when he rushed him, S-Shark was able to maneuver around and team assault from the StrawHat Pirates including Robin)
Durability: Continent level+ (S-Shark was able to take a Diamble Jambe kick to the face from an enraged Sanji), the Lunarian gene further supplements their durability
Lifting Strength: At least Class G+ via powerscaling, likely Class T

Standard Equipment: DOM Boots for all of them, a Yoru-like sword for S-Hawk
Intelligence: All Seraphim are programmed to be amazingly powerful and competent weapons of the World Government, they have shown sentience and the capability to display emotion or at least replicate what human emotion would be, and they can constantly juggle the usage of several powerful abilities at once
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Lasers: The Seraphim can fire a laser out of their mouths and from their hands which is powerful enough to melt steel. They all have this ability.
- Hakka (Ignite): After having the DNA of Lunarians copied the Seraphim can wield the natural ability to ignite their body at any point, allowing him to create and manipulate fire. They also have the naturally supplemented durability of Lunarians as well. They all have this ability.
S-Hawk:
- Air Blades: Not a named technique. S-Hawk swings his sword and launches a slicing blade of wind at his opponent. He likely has a similar skill to Mihawk as well as being able to use pinpoint accuracy. At least to some degree anyway.

S-Snake:
- Mero Mero Merrow: S-Snake's signature technique, she forms a heart shape with her hands and launches a beam of the shape. Anyone with "dirty thoughts" (lust) hit by this beam will be turned into a stone statue (i.e. petrified). The beam's effect can be blocked if the target doesn't have any lust for Hancock, either by focusing on other emotions (such as intense pain) or simply being ignorant (it had no effect on Luffy because he's not attracted to her). This attack seems not to kill targets, but rather put them in a form of stasis, however, any affected person's body can be destroyed, due to the fact that it is stone.
![]() |
S-Shark:
- Fish-Man Karate: A martial art that is practiced by certain skilled members of the Fish-Man race. Humans can also learn the fighting style, as shown by Koala. While deadly enough on land, Fish-Man Karate has a number of devastating underwater moves designed to suit the enhanced strength and speed that Fish-Man possesses while in their natural environment.

- Nikyu Nikyu no Mi (Paw Pad Paw Pad Fruit): A Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, this fruit allows the user to push anything they touch, and is physically represented as paw pads on the user's palm that seem to be permanently engraved into the user. The first and foremost strength of the fruit, as demonstrated by S-Bear, is that the user is able to push practically anything they touch and send it flying at extremely high speeds. This includes both tangible materials such as people and objects, and intangible materials such as air, the ghosts generated by the Horo Horo no Mi user, and the sensation of physical pain. This power offers the user an incredible advantage in battle, allowing them to deflect any physical attacks. They are also able to harness their abilities to perform offensive maneuvers, such as repelling the very air around them at the speed of light. One misconception about the powers of the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi is that it gives its user the ability to transport at will. This is incorrect, however. Rather than teleport, S-Bear uses the awesome speed of his Devil Fruit power to propel himself across certain distances.
- Ursus Shock: S-Bear gathers air with his palms and compresses it into a giant bubble that resembles a paw print. Once the bubble is compact enough to fit within his hands, he releases the compressed air and sends it toward his opponent. The air quickly decompresses, causing a massive explosion in the form of a bear paw.
